CAT 2023 - Slot 3 Varc Question 9

(d); The author argues that strict cultural patrimony laws reduce incentives for foreign governments, nongovernmental organizations and educational institutions to invest in overseas exploration. So, the author suggests, source countries, particularly in the developing world, should narrow their cultural property laws so that they can reap the benefits of new archaeological discoveries. The author also substantiates this point with the example of China, which has dropped its cultural property law and embraced collaborative international archaeological research, thereby greatly increasing the number of archaeological sites for inclusion in the World Heritage Site list.
Options A, B and C relate to the author's ideas stated in the passage.
The author is unlikely to advise poor source countries to fund institutes in other countries. So, option D is the correct answer choice.
